Rising stars: CONDITIONS domenica, 24 marzo 2013 00:01 by madseason
conditions - open eys

"The contemplative but catchy bounce of Jimmy Eat World, the esoteric but driving atmospherics of Thrice, the dark experimentalism tempered by soft sentimentality of Brand New and the soaring radio melodies of Foo Fighters and Blink 182 have all found a new home within Conditions, who have fashioned this formula into something uniquely their own. With a passing glance backward and a full throttle charge forward, Conditions are taking melodic post-hardcore toward the future with the stunning new album, Full Of War."

OK, that was from the bio, but are these guys from Richmond, VA really this good? Judging from new single "Open Eyes", they're a band to follow for sure. Watch the video clicking on the image and judge by yourselves.

The new full-length record "Full Of War" was produced by Brandon Paddock and Taylor Larsen (The Used, Papa Roach, Black Veil Brides) and will be released next week through eOne Music. Check the artwork courtesy of Matt "Portland" Hay here.

eve to adam - straitjacket supermodel

New York City-based rockers Eve To Adam are finalizing the details for their new studio album with famed producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette. The successor of "Banquet For A Starving Dog", the album that put ETA on the map, will be released later in the year.

Meanwhile the band is sharing a new song called "Straitjacket Supermodel": "The song was inspired by the TV show "Dexter". We wrote a song that we envisioned would play in Dexter's head as he prepares to kill. The song is still ETA, but with a more modern edge. It’s EVE TO ADAM 2.0." Told singer Taki to Loudwire recently.

Head on SoundCloud now to stream "Straitjacket Supermodel" and if you like it, buy it on iTunes starting this coming Tuesday.

Lovesongs For The Dead: VEGA NOVA sabato, 16 marzo 2013 00:27 by madseason
Vega Nova - Lovesongs For The Dead

Vega Nova is the side-project from Jeppe Christensen and Jesper Thilsted, singer and bass/guitar player respectively in the Danish electro-metal group Raunchy. The duo has just released its debut album "Lovesongs For The Dead".

From the bio: ""Lovesongs For The Dead" is a cutting-edge work of postmodern rock that features pounding, up-front percussion, soaring wall-of-sound orchestration, and epic-scale chord progressions. V.N. does not shirk from contemporary digital effects, either. They tend to prefer sounds and tones more akin to Depeche Mode’s "Violator" record, albeit much more masculine and confrontational. The result is a cross between the darker, almost spiritual overtones of Tool and the dance-friendly overtures of Muse and 30 Seconds To Mars".

Preview the whole album heading to Vega Nova's bandcamp page.
